About
Dr. Kendall K. Tasche is a leading surgical oncologist whose research focuses on HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer, with a particular emphasis on the clinical utility of circulating tumor HPV DNA (ctHPVDNA) as a biomarker. Her most cited work, "Postoperative ctHPVDNA Kinetics in Patients With HPV-Related Oropharyngeal Cancer" (2025, 4 citations), provides critical insights into the early postoperative clearance patterns of ctHPVDNA, a key indicator for monitoring disease presence and treatment response in HPV-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). This study addresses a significant gap in understanding how quickly this biomarker declines after surgery, offering potential for more precise surveillance and personalized treatment strategies. Dr. Tasche’s contributions are advancing the integration of liquid biopsy into head and neck oncology, improving outcomes for patients with HPV-driven cancers. Her work underscores the importance of molecular monitoring in surgical decision-making and post-treatment care, positioning her as a rising authority in the field.
